Power washing services cover every exterior surface on your property. The siding on your house, the slab under your car, the walkway up to your front door, the fence along the lot line, and the storefront your customers walk into. Each one takes a different pressure and a different approach.
We answer fast and our crews show up on time. Serving Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, and Garden City. Call for an estimate any hour.
A lot of people hear "power washing" and picture a guy blasting a driveway with a wand. That is one piece of it. The full picture is a set of cleaning methods matched to the surface in front of us. On a house, that means low pressure and cleaning detergents that kill algae at the root. On a driveway, it means higher pressure that pulls oil and tire marks out of the concrete. On a commercial storefront, it means scheduling the work around your open hours so your customers never see the hose.
The common thread is water under pressure, paired with the right detergent and the right nozzle for the job. We carry both soft-wash and high-pressure rigs, and we choose the right one based on what the surface can handle.
The method matters more than the machine. Here is how we decide:
| Soft Washing (siding, stucco, wood) | High-Pressure (concrete, brick, pavers) | |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure on the surface | Low pressure, gentle on paint and trim | High pressure that cuts through ground-in grime |
| How it cleans | Cleaning detergents kill algae and mildew at the root | Water volume and pressure blast away staining |
| Best for | Vinyl, stucco, wood, painted surfaces, rooflines | Driveways, walkways, patios, commercial slabs |
| Risk if misused | Almost none at low pressure | Can strip paint, etch wood, or crack mortar if aimed wrong |
If it sits outside on your property, odds are we wash it. Here is what a full-service visit can cover:
Call about what needs cleaning. You get a number before any work begins.
📞 Call (208) 842-1167Boise sits in high desert. Intense summer sun, cold winters, dusty spring wind off the foothills, and sprinklers running half the year. Every exterior surface on your property catches all of it.
Around here, the buildup usually shows up as:
Those black streaks are almost always a cyanobacteria called Gloeocapsa magma. It feeds on the limestone filler in roofing materials and creeps down across the siding over time. On concrete, the sun bakes oil and tire residue into the pores until a plain rinse cannot touch it. And the dust: spring wind pulls fine grit off the foothills, and late summer stacks wildfire haze on top of it. Both leave a film that settles in as permanent staining if it sits long enough.
A regular wash keeps all of that from setting in. Once staining bakes into a surface for a few seasons, it takes a lot more work to pull out. Caught early, it lifts off in an afternoon.
Every job gets the same four steps, in the same order, because it works:
We walk the property first, checking surface types, noting existing wear, and flagging anything that needs a careful hand.
A plant-safe cleaning detergent goes on and starts breaking down algae, mildew, and staining before we rinse a thing.
Soft wash on the delicate surfaces, higher pressure on the concrete. Section by section, lifting the loosened grime off every surface.
A thorough rinse, a second look at every surface, and one more walk-around with you after a final walkthrough.
Pricing comes down to the surface, the square footage, and how much buildup we are working through. A soft-washed house exterior takes more product and care than a driveway, decks price on wood condition, and commercial work is priced on its own based on scope.

We are based in Boise. Not a franchise, not a call center dispatching whoever happens to be nearest. When you call Pressure Wash Boise, you get a crew that knows the difference between North End wood siding and a brand-new vinyl build out past Ten Mile.
Our routes cover the full Boise metro, including Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, and Garden City. Meridian's newer subdivisions are heavy on vinyl and painted stucco, which stay sharp with a yearly wash against the valley dust. Eagle's older custom homes lean toward wood and brick, and those want a slower, more careful hand. Either way, it is familiar ground for us.
Our cleaning detergents are plant-safe, and we rinse nearby landscaping before and after the wash to look after your beds and lawn. Pricing comes down to how much surface area you have and how far the buildup has gotten. Call, and you get a number before any work begins.
We wash properties across the whole Boise metro. House siding, driveways, walkways, fences, decks, and commercial buildings. Vinyl, stucco, wood, brick, or concrete, the right method clears off the mildew, algae, and high-desert dust while your paint and finish come through untouched.
One call does it — tell us what needs cleaning and your number's ready before we hang up. No form to fill out.
Call (208) 842-1167Estimate over the phone, real local See your priceWhat sets the price, on the home pageThe three things Boise property owners ask about most before they book:
Not the way we do it. Siding, stucco, and painted wood get a soft wash: low pressure with cleaning detergents that do the work. High pressure stays on the concrete and masonry where it belongs. Your paint stays right where it is.
Yes. The detergents are plant-safe and go on at low pressure. We soak your garden beds down before and after the wash so any overspray gets diluted, and we just ask that dogs and cats hang out inside while we work.
Each service is priced on the square footage and how much buildup is on it. Give us the address and we estimate it up front, then that price is set before the first drop of detergent goes on. You know your number before we start.
Straight answers to what Boise property owners ask us most.
For most homeowners the two terms mean the same thing: cleaning exterior surfaces with pressurized water. Technically, power washing uses heated water and pressure washing uses cold water at the same pressure. In practice around Boise, the difference that matters is between soft washing (low pressure plus cleaning detergents, used on siding and paint) and high-pressure washing (used on concrete and masonry). We carry both and match the method to the surface in front of us.
Pricing comes down to the surface being cleaned, the square footage, and its condition; commercial work is priced on its own based on scope. Give us the address and you get your estimate before any work begins. For a fuller breakdown, see our Boise pressure washing cost guide.
Both, depending on the surface. House siding, stucco, wood, and rooflines get a soft wash: low pressure with cleaning detergents that kill algae and mildew at the root. Concrete driveways, brick, pavers, and commercial slabs get higher pressure because those surfaces can take it. We carry both rigs and choose the right one for what is in front of us.
Every one to two years covers most homes around Boise. Driveways and walkways can go two years if they look clean. House siding wants a wash every year or two, especially on the shaded north side where mildew moves in first. If you can already see black streaks, green growth, or sprinkler staining, it is time, no matter what the calendar says.
Not with the same pressure. That is the whole point of matching the method. High pressure on siding drives water behind the panels and strips paint. Low pressure on a stained driveway leaves the oil behind. We match pressure and detergent strength to each surface, so the clean goes deep and the surface stays intact.
A single-service visit like a house wash or driveway clean usually runs two to three hours, setup to final rinse. A full-property wash covering house, driveway, and walkways can run four to six. Commercial jobs depend on scope. We keep a steady pace but we never rush the rinse.
Not for the work itself. We ask that someone is around at the start so we can walk the property together and hear about anything you want us to watch. After that, most folks go on with their day and come home to a clean property. We will let you know when we wrap up.
We cover the whole Boise metro, including Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, and Garden City, and we run routes through Ada and Canyon Counties all the time. Getting to you is no trouble. Reach out and we will find a time that fits your neighborhood.
Yes. We wash homes, driveways, fences, and decks for homeowners, and we wash storefronts, parking lots, walkways, loading docks, and building exteriors for businesses. Commercial work gets scheduled around your open hours so your customers only see the clean.
We use plant-safe detergents at low pressure and treat your landscaping like it is our own. We ask that pets stay inside or away from the work area during the wash. Garden beds near the house get wetted down before and after so any overspray is diluted, and we steer runoff away from anything planted.
Call about what needs cleaning. A real local picks up, and you get a number before any work begins. No form to fill out, no waiting on an email.
Most of the time, yes. Fresh oil lifts out fully. Older stains that have soaked deep into the concrete may only fade, and we will tell you that before we start so you know what to expect. We use a pre-treatment that breaks down the oil before the pressure washing pulls it out of the pores.
Almost always a hardy airborne algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It settles wherever there is shade or moisture and feeds on organic material in siding and roofing. High pressure alone cannot beat it, because the black layer you see is just its protective shell. The detergents we use in soft washing break the organism down at the root, so it is actually gone, not just knocked back for a season.
